Phyll, thank you for your response! Yes, I also first go to the profiles on the web to see if something resonates with me, and then check up the voice to make sure. (In my case I have religious restrictions, so I need to be careful of the reader's methods.) Also I would like to add that the timing is important. No human being could be always 100% ready for every question, and the client is also not always in the right condition to ask the question. In my case, the minute I say hello I know if it's going to go smoothly or not, whether the reader is one of my favorites or a new encounter, and sometimes even before connecting I could tell. In 1998, even though the recording of the reader's voice was scientifically the same, I knew that it was the right moment to ask, and this one advisor who had forgotten my story gave me a totally different, accurate reading to my (unchanged) situation from the previous reading (where she was mislead by her presumptions)! Again, I think it's all in our instincts... It's interesting to try out, experiment, if you have enough time and money. I stayed away from professional psychic readings for a couple of years, but this past month I have spent thousands (and taking a break from work! lol). My conclusion is that as a client I shouldn't give too much information, as it clouds the essence of the truth, and things really work out amazingly if both the questioner and reader are neutral at the time of reading. I wish everybody success!!
